## Abstract Perturbed‐hard‐chain theory is extended to mixtures of polymers and volatile fluids, including supercritical gases. This extension is used to derive an expression for Henry's constant for a solute in a molten polymer. Theoretical calculations and data reduction are reported for a variet

A comparative study has been made of the kinetics of release into water of simple hydrophilic, but sparingly soluble, solutes (exemplified by CaSO 4 or SrSO 4 ) incorporated in varying amounts in cellulosic polymer matrices of low or high water swellability. Hydrophobic cellulose acetate films (cast
The kinetics of release into water of particulate NaCl (used here as an example of a highly water-soluble solute) incorporated in a cellulose acetate (CA) matrix was investigated in correlation with the concurrent variation of the water content of the matrix. To ensure comparability with the kinetic
On the basis of a variational principle a quantitative theory is developed enabling a thermodynamic description in terms of mean field approximation of heteropolymer mixtures of macromolecules with an arbitrary distribution for both degree of polymerization and composition. Rather simple general equ
